FYI: Appears like more deceptive trade practices,fraud going on:

Both Narconon Northern California and Halcyon Horizons Incorporated are claiming to be corporate registrants of all the names below .. each registered by corporate entity and still active for each current fictitious name, even though they are not separate corporations. Corp was renamed "01/07/2014 A0750059 Restated Articles NAME CHANGE FROM: NARCONON OF NORTHERN CALIFORNIA"http://www.wysk.com/index/california/watsonville/63yqlkx/halcyon-horizons-incorporated/profile

“They recently closed one of their three centers, in Placerville, because they were not getting enough business and were starting to lose money. They had also tried to re-brand from ‘Narconon Vista Bay’ to ‘Emerald Pines,’ ‘Pinecone Grove’ and ‘Redwood Cliffs.’ This clearly didn’t work, as they still had the Narconon name. Now word has emerged from multiple sources that they have left the Narconon network altogether to do something different. Their Narconon-branded websites are down in maintenance mode, and their new site is elevaterehab.org.”

elevaterehab.org claims to be Elevate Addiction Services, but that's just a FBN for Halcyon.

What is it about these people that makes them constantly lie and try to hide who they are?? If they had been up front about being a "faith based" program, hadn't made those rediculous success claims, and refunded peoples money if they decided it wasn't right for them, nobody would be looking to bulldoze them into the ground. And a lot of people who died would still be alive.

Thanks, DeathHamster! I archived the elevaterehab.org site pages before I saw your post, but not the others urls. I have so little time this week to do the others, perhaps someone else can? Archiving helps in lawsuits to isolate what the site claims at time of contact. The Internet Archive is often used as exhibits in legal complaints to capture false statements or omissions.

BTW, Elevate Rehab is a Fictitious Name aka dba, along with other variations, all registered by Halcyon Horizons, Incorporated. I also checked the state corporate records. There is no name legal change from this Narconon set of programs yet.

In Sept 2015 Halcyon Horizons Inc registered 7 fictitious name registrations using the word Elevate. There is no corporate change for these northern ca facilities. I also received a tip last year that they were closing one of the program locations but it was due to financial and consolidating locations issues. They are still Halcyon Horizons, Inc f/k/a Narconon Northern California, under the same corporation and tax id's, filing same returns with new name Horizon.

They have a variety of different fictitious names and began changing them to new names because of the Vista Bay lawsuits. Last year sometime, they closed and replaced one of the Placerville locations by moving over to and opening a new site ( using their finance building) and calling it Redwood Cliffs. That is one of the DBAs registered

These are filed with the Santa Cruz County business dept where they file fictitious names. They also operate in other counties in Northern Ca area, s there are other names of facilities but not registered here in this county database. We have a list of names and locations on Narconon Reviews for those locations that have complaints against them, for which we have a copy posted)

One can search for both names but Halcyon Horizons, Inc is the current registrant for all in Santa Cruz Co

Narconon Int is still an active incorporated and I suspect that just the contractual duties on the licensing and contracts were transferred to ABLE Int. Here is a link to the CA corp entity searchhttp://kepler.sos.ca.gov/

The current list of California facility licensed programs are updated periodically. The latest listings were updated on 11/6.2015. The northern California programs listed in it show changes to some but not all programs run by Halcyon

Information there states that Narconon is still the name of the 2 Redwood Cliffs programs legally run by Halcyon Horizons, Incorporated, and that Elevate is used in varying program names in the remaining other Halcyon Horizons program locations ( listings are for out patent and residential ).

The new elevaterehab.org website shows a program with components that are very different than what a Narconon is allowed to provide, including statements implying real ability to discuss drug issues in group and 1:1 therapy and use of psychiatric medications to help taper one to withdraw from opiates and heroin.

However, a Google search of keywords Narconon Redwood Cliffs shows a website link and a google maps listing link and advertisement for Elevate Addiction Services at the top. The title is hyperlinked to the elevaterehab .org site. too

I am updating and recaping what we know on Halcyon Horizons Incorporated in this post, as I am linking it to other sites discussing the recent articles by Tony Ortega and whether or not it's really true:

I personally do not believe they have left the network at all. I don't think it's a different program at all. Just more name changes and Narconon's recent propaganda that they have changed, improved the program because the internet and the lawsuits are killing them one by one. As I have posted elsewhere,

'I have my doubts on this. Big ones. I saw a similar thing back when Per Wickstrom's Narconon Stone Hawk facility in MI had it's license with Narconon Int cancelled. Turns out they were just in cahoots together to stop Per's ex-wife, co-owner Kathleen Wickstrom, from getting her share and other monies he owed her. She sued Per and NN Int when she figured out the scam they concocted, after he stopped making payments to her per the divorce by claiming he was broke because of the license cancellation.

Meantime, he set up A Forever Recovery, which he also claimed to not use Narconon when it does. We call these programs unbranded Narconons. Per has 3 of them now, all serving Narconon and Scientology under the cover of supposedly using other methods they never deliver. Almost all the exec at Halcyon Horizons f/k/a Narconon Northern California are scientologists. They have an org up there they flow people and staff to for services. I suspect they did this to avoid Narconon Int from being included in any more lawsuits. Just another layer of corporate veils. '

How Narconon Northern California ( doing business as a multitude of names like Vista Bay, then became Halcyon Horizons Incorporated and began using dba's like Redwood Cliffs, and now ELEVATE REHAB and other variations on that name:

Narconon Northern California changed it's name to Halcyon Horizons Incorporated. Here are some details now not all available which I located at wysk.com regarding the name change from Narconon Northern California to Halcyon Horizons Incorporated and posted back in Nov 2015:

Halcyon is now the name of the original corporation. Not a separate entity. Here is the corp infoCorporate Business Search Entity Searchhttp://kepler.sos.ca.gov/

"Data is updated to the California Business Search on Wednesday and Saturday mornings. Results reflect work processed through Tuesday, December 29, 2015. Please refer to Processing Times for the received dates of filings currently being processed. The data provided is not a complete or certified record of an entity.Entity Name: HALCYON HORIZONS, INCORPORATEDEntity Number: C1570562Date Filed: 10/15/1990Status: ACTIVEJurisdiction: CALIFORNIAEntity Address: 262 GAFFEY ROADEntity City, State, Zip: WATSONVILLE CA 95076Agent for Service of Process: DENNIS HOWELLAgent Address: 240 WESTGATE DRIVEAgent City, State, Zip: WATSONVILLE CA 95076 "

Some of their licensed facilities are still noted in part as Narconon. 2 of the 4 Halcyon licensed facilities are listed in the current records online as a Narconon Redwood Cliff's program name per the latest records.

I am looking further into all this but for now, I am not convinced. To me it's just another attempt to hide as an unbranded Narconon program like Wickstrom's Best Drug Rehabilitation, A Forever recovery and Serenity Point Rehab.

Your thoughts are appreciated

1. In Sep 2014 the IRS Form 1023 changing their status from being part of the NN Int Group Exemption (GEN 2595) to a stand alone Exempt Organization (GEN 0000) was finalized. As part of that change, Halcyon/NNNC's Employer Identification Number (EIN) stayed the same, which means there was no change in ownership. And, more importantly, there was no change to their charter with the California Secretary of State. A change to the charter would have triggered a requirement for a new EIN, and I find it hard to believe it wouldn't change if they've completely broken with narCONon.

2. There's been no mention of the owners, or staff, leaving $cientology, voluntarily or otherwise. If they have broken with narCONon on their own hook, without making some arrangement with Miscavige, he would have had the SP declares hand delivered by the driver of the same truck that came to pick up all the "licensed" materials.

3. All the hoopla seems to be focused on Attorney John Hannon being told there would be no more license fees going to ABLE and NN Int. I'll bet nothing was said about Halcyon Horizons becoming a member company of WISE, or no "donations" going to the IAS. Which would still keep the money flowing to $cientology, while cutting the ABLE/NN Int connection. And keep any SP declares from falling on everyone involved.

So I'm not joining any parties over this "change", if it really is one, until we've seen some 990's for 2014 and 2014 to see where the money's going. And hopefully getting some current reviews on what's actually happening on the ground since this claimed change.

In some ways, Elevate is reminiscent of Per Wickstrom's unbranded Narconons, which are promoted as holistic, but there are differences if we can believe the advertising. I can't think of a Narconon, branded or unbranded, that has an addictionologist on board.

Keep in mind, no name is provided for said addictionologist.

Quote

The Elevate program is facilitated by our skilled team of nurturing and compassionate staff. Clients are overseen by a medical doctor who is an addictionologist and specialized in addiction medicine for over 30 years. Treatment planning and delivery is guided by state-certified counselors and overseen by a licensed therapist. The program was designed and reviewed by professionals in the addiction field with decades of experience. Newer staff may be currently undergoing education and internships to achieve a credential. Regardless of the role, clients of Elevate Addiction Services can be assured that the utmost care is taken to ensure the highest chance of success.

Other new concepts, if true:

Quote

Discharge Planning and 6 Months of Aftercare

Before you leave our rehab facility, the client and staff will develop a customized relapse prevention and discharge plan which will address challenges and situations that may occur outside the facility and could affect one's sobriety. This plan will revolve around your individual needs and help to overcome triggers, deal with daily life problems and avoid a relapse.

Additionally, our clients who successfully graduate the Elevate program will receive 6 months of aftercare. Prior to leaving, clients will schedule their call-in time where they can talk about any challenges, issues and progress made. These sessions will be held once a week via phone, with both the graduate and staff referring to the discharge plan. This service is provided only to clients who complete the entire program.

Quote

Family Sessions

Whether a husband, wife, partner, mother, father, son or daughter, we encourage all family members to be involved in the recovery of an addict. Family sessions play a key role into helping an individual reach long term sobriety. This is a time which helps and client loved ones to discuss and work through any issues, establish better communication skills and begin to repair the overall relationship. Our counselor will give examples of co-dependency or enabling to ensure these are avoided or that healthy solutions are used to break these unhealthy cycles.

From the moment we begin working the client, we will start to offer support and assistance to everyone involved. Our ultimate goal is to help the client and the family to rebuild their lives in a practical, manageable and successful approach. Family sessions will typically occur 2-4 times per month via phone. However, we also allow family workshop sessions to be held directly held at the Elevate facilities. There is an extra charge for this service; please contact us for more information on this.

Of course, there are similarities dressed up in different language:

A November and December 2015 list? Are they revising that list monthly now? Excellent!

Does anyone have the DHCS parent page that links to their most current list? I'd like to set up a task to check for the latest one every couple days. (I suppose I could just brute force it and request Status_Report_month_year.pdf until it works.)

I'm hoping to start adding automated checking and updating of a lot of stuff to give more real-time notification of changes. Idle CPU cores are the devil's tools.

Hubbard admin tech and Narconon "training" are a corporate culture level 4 bio-hazard. They can't just turn it off and decide not to be a Narconon and Scientology any more.

I think the "boutique" idea is someone's outside interpretation of Scientology's actions rather than a real leak of their plans. The smaller scale is easier to try to jam into zoning holes as "group homes", and if they can cut the visible legal ties to the mothership, each one can run until they kill or main someone without dragging down the whole pyramid.

I think this is at most a surface change to slow down the formula lawsuits against Narconon than any real change, and the websites don't mention saunas because they did a search and delete in the text, not because they removed the actual saunas.

In February 2015 it was listed as 262 Gaffey Road, Watsonville, CA. (same as Halcyon)

9C Marea Avenue, La Selva Beach, CA, 95076, USA sure doesn't look like a location that could handle 49 people! Shouldn't there have been a whole new facility review before they could change their location??

Noticed that Daniel Manson has trademarked the name and logo of Elevate Addiction Services, as an individual and not a corporation.Also another addiction treatment services company name: Your Life is Waiting for You.
